Corporate Diversity Training

Birmingham Corporate Law Attorneys

The modern work environment is increasingly diverse, with race, gender,
sexuality, religion, and politics all intermingling on a daily basis.
We also live in an increasingly litigious society, where perceived inappropriate
words or actions can result in lawsuits. If you own a business of any
kind, be it a mom-and-pop or a multinational corporation, you need to
ensure that the work environment you foster is just, equal, and free of
strife. Not only will this increase employee loyalty and productivity,
it will keep you out of the courtroom. This is why diversity training
is so important throughout all levels of a company.

As an employer and an attorney who practices employment law,
Eric L. Guster is familiar with all facets of creating and maintaining a healthy workplace
culture. Guster Law Firm, LLC provides comprehensive diversity training
to companies of all sizes. Call (205) 386-6844 for a free consultation
on how you can improve your company’s work environment.

Topics Covered in Corporate Diversity Training

There are as many aspects of corporate diversity as there are parts in
a watch, and each is as vital in its function as the next. Topics we will
touch on in various levels of depth include:

What is your legal obligation and how can you safeguard against legal matters?

Reviews and Promotions:

What are the policies and procedures outlined in the employee manual? Are
you following these policies the same way for all employees?

And finally, one of the most important aspects of corporate diversity training
deals with harassment and discrimination in the workplace. We can review
your current policy manual to ensure that it’s compliant with all
applicable laws and regulations, and help you foster a work environment
where everyone is treated fairly and equally. After we’ve reviewed
the potential root of the problem via the employee manual and other documentation,
we’ll go over the proper steps to ensure that your company is doing
its very best to
prevent workplace harassment and discrimination issues from occurring, or in some cases reoccurring.

We’ll discuss the following concerns that often accompany harassment
and discrimination complaints and other issues your company may be facing…

Investigating Claims - the types information you should be looking for and any foreseeable
pitfalls that could harm the company

The Importance of Documentation - the proper steps and necessary paper trail your company needs to ensure
that it did everything within its power to correct the situation

Sexual Harassment - who’s to blame and how the company can prevent situations like
this from popping up in the future

Racial/Gender/Age Discrimination - treating all employees equally to prevent the company from becoming
an active participant in a discrimination claim

Bullying - how to properly handle issues so that the company exonerates itself
from fault and builds towards preventing similar situations from occurring
in the future

Threats and Violence - knowing when to call the authorities to protect the well-being of not
only employees directly involved, but the rest of the company as well

Preventing Retaliation - Diffusing bad situations so that all parties involved are satisfied
with the outcome, and no future actions are taken against any involved
or non-involved parties

Diversity in the workplace is important at all levels of a company, from
the executive level on down. To ensure that your company’s diversity
training is thorough and all parties involved are properly taught best
practices for the workplace, it is critical to bring in a neutral third
party that has no history with your company. Guster Law Firm, LLC can
provide you with an objective voice to communicate with your employees
and nurture a harmonious work environment free of discrimination.
